Boss WL20 Wireless System Features

Plug-and-play wireless systems for guitar, bass, and other electronic instruments

No complicated setup required—simply dock the transmitter and receiver together for about 10 seconds to set the optimum wireless connection

A full charge provides 12 hours of time for the transmitter and 10 hours for the receiver.

Lightning-Fast BOSS Wireless Technology
Equipped with high-performance BOSS wireless technology that debuted in the Katana-Air wireless guitar amp, the WL-20 series delivers exceptional sound quality with wide dynamic range. Working in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, the optimum channel is set automatically to ensure rock-solid audio performance with absolutely no drop-outs. And with ultra-low latency of just 2.3 ms, you’ll always enjoy great playing feel with no lag whatsoever. Up to 14 BOSS wireless systems can be used simultaneously in one space, allowing multiple musicians to enjoy wireless freedom at the same time.Environmental conditions may affect the actual number of simultaneous systems available.

Plug In and Rock
A WL-20 system is literally as simple to use as a standard guitar cable. The small transmitter plugs into your instrument, while a matching receiver plugs into a pedal or amp. That’s it!

Automatic Wireless Setup
With the WL-20 series, there’s no fiddly channel setup required. Just dock the transmitter and receiver together for about 10 seconds to automatically set the optimum connection.

Easy Charging via USB When docked, the built-in batteries in the transmitter and receiver can be charged together with a standard USB adaptor (5 V/500 mA or higher), the same type used with the latest smartphones and tablets. The transmitter can also be charged separately, and a micro USB cable is included for charging.

Built-In Cable Tone Simulation
If you play a guitar or bass with standard passive pickups (the most common pickup type), the WL-20 model is probably your best choice. It includes built-in cable tone simulation, which reproduces the natural capacitive effect that’s introduced when using a 10-foot/3-meter guitar cable with passive pickups. This effect rolls off the treble very slightly, giving you the warm tone you’re used to hearing with a normal cable.

Customer Reviews

It works ok if your in range. Go much more than 50 feet....and it's done. You'd be better off spending a few more bucks and getting a better system.

Decent but very flawed. Had to return it.

What is your opinion of this product?

I was very much looking forward to the Boss WL20's. I own the Line 6 Relay G10 but was looking for an even more compact system that didn't use the larger base receiver unit. (The Line 6 G10 works great, by the way). Well, the sound on the WL20 was fine but I had problems with them right away. I noticed drop outs when they were near other RF devices (like another wireless unit from Xvive) - an issue that never occurred with my Line 6. Also, the little switch on the receiver plug, which turns the unit on when inserted, would not work with a number of my pedals. I have two TC Polytune tuners and the unit would not turn on when plugged into either of them. Also, it would not work on the deep offset Ibanez guitar jacks -again, an issue that the Line 6 does not have. So unfortunately, I had to return them and bought a second Line 6 G-10 from AMS. Sorry Boss - you need to fix those issues. And as for the Line 6 G-10 - amazing tone and works great - that one I'll keep for sure.

Same tone just as it would be with a cable. So much easier not having to worry about pops or tangled cables

plug and play easy

What is your opinion of this product?

This is a fantastically easy product to use. Just plug it in and go. The range is fantastic and the response time makes it feel very natural to use. My one complaint would be that the charge time is a bit on the long side.

It's Fantastic

What is your opinion of this product?

I tried the line 6 system and had a lot of connection problems. The Boss system connects every time. I'm lucky to do 25 gigs a month and it have never failed me.

Better than Expected!

What is your opinion of this product?

I wanted the WL20L because it was described as best for both active and passive pickups. When I realized my mistake, I called to cancel, but it had already shipped. Customer service told me I had 45 days to return it. I didn't want to wait until November for the WL20L so I gave it a shot. It works well with all of my guitars active and passive. I love it! So nice not to trip over a cord! By all means, lose the cord!
